It's Tuesday night. Well really Wednesday morning. I have too much to do before we leave. Well at least the itinerary is set, the hotels are booked, and I've started a list of things we need to take.
Ruben, Marc and Keith have been doing some serious bike riding in the last 4 weeks to train for this. I think the hardest part for them won't be the riding or the hills, it will be getting on the seat the second day. No doubt about that.
Last week Ruben and Keith rode from the Palo Alto/Menlo Park area up into the foothills. They got lost on the way home and wound up riding about 50 miles - with no gear and no dinner. They're nuts. :)
The goal is to get on the road after Elias' camp on Friday, pick Keith up at the Portland airport and make it to Astoria late on Friday night. I just hope there isn't too much traffic on the the drive to Portland...
